MCP, MCP server
Agent Workspace Linux
An isolated, hidden Linux desktop that an AI agent fully controls — over MCP — without ever touching your real mouse, keyboard, focus, or browser.
Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade B
Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit c3ba9482e138.
PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP
Why this grade
- PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low
Contains a call that can delete files.
npm/scripts/postinstall.js, line 77
fs.rmSync(stagingDir, { recursive: true, force: true }); - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
npm/scripts/postinstall.js, line 178
const req = https.get( - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
src/profile.rs, line 1700
.env - OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note
A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.
src/server.rs, line 1
use crate::agent::{AgentModeSummary, AgentTargetHandles};
Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.
Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
